Chapter Two

After twenty minutes, Luke finally pulled into the parking lot of Goode High School. Annabeth, Thalia and Luke strode up the cement stairs confidently. Annabeth could see out of the corner of her eyes, Rachel Elizabeth dressed in a too short red dress and Mark with his hands wrapped around Rachel's waist. Eventually, they made it to the door way where they were greeted by Nico Di Angelo, Grover Underwood and his girlfriend Juniper.

Nico was wearing one of his signature skull and cross bone shirts (he has this odd obsession with Death). He had pierced ears and an annoyed expression. Grover and Juniper were holding hands and they were wearing matching Save the EARTH t-shirts. They were both pretty big environmentalists.

"Skull and cross bones!" Luke said, with a chuckle. Nico rolled his eyes. Whenever he's wearing a shirt that has a skull, Luke always called him that and Nico hates it.

"Hey Nico," Annabeth said with a smile. She hugged Juniper and then greeted Grover.

"So who's excited for eleventh grade?" Juniper squealed as they began walking down the hallway filled with lockers.

"Yeah, another year a BORING school stuff," Nico mumbled, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Wow. Try not to sound too excited there," Luke smirked, ruffling Nico's hair. Nico swatted Luke's hand away. "Hey, at least the Stoll Twins hasn't bothering us yet."

As if on cue, Annabeth overheard a familiar voice behind us. "Did someone call for us?"

The friends groaned and turned. Travis and Connor Stoll were strutting through the hallway. They were wearing basketball shorts and a matching t-shirt. Their hair was a huge curly brown mess. Trailing behind them was Clarisse, her hair in bun, her arm muscles exposed and her boyfriend Chris, wearing shorts and white t-shirt.

"And here they come," Thalia groaned. She hated the Stoll Twins almost as much as Katie Gardner.

"Hey Thals!" Travis said, putting his hand on Thalia's shoulder. All she had to do was glare at him and quickly enough Travis took his arm off of her.

"Don't you guys have someone to prank?" Thalia snapped.

Connor shrugged, grinning. "We have a couple people planned out. Tell me, since Katie is so into gardens and stuff, do you think she'll like a locker full of worms?" Katie Gardner and her mother, Demeter, are HUGE garden fans. Demeter owns one of the biggest gardens in New York. Katie sometimes works there whenever she has free time.

"Stoll," Luke said while trying to stifle a chuckle, "She'll kill you."

"You see," Travis replied, smugly, "That's a chance a whiling to take."

"Don't you have anybody else to prank?" Juniper asked, while grabbing Grover's arm and it putting it around her shoulder.

"No!" Travis shouted. "There's NO ONE good enough to replace Katie."

"And why is that?" Clarisse challenged.

"Because she's hot!" Travis cried. They turned to look at Travis with raised eyebrows. Everyone knew that Travis had a thing for Katie but not once as Travis said anything like that. "I mean," he said, awkwardly, "She's hot because she's angry. She's got...um...never mind." He glanced at Connor before running off in the direction of his locket.

Connor sighed, "I should probably go after him. Catch up with you guys later." Connor quickly ran off shouting for Travis to slow down.

"You gotta love those guys," Luke snickered, locking hands with Thalia in the process. "We should probably go to our lockers, right, Thals?" Luke and Thalia managed send a special request and now they have lockers side by side.

Thalia shrugged, "Class is going to start soon. See you guys at class." Thalia quickly kissed Luke on the lips before they turned hand in hand and walked toward their lockers.

After they left, Annabeth and the rest of their dispersed off to their lockers. Her locker was a lot farther than the rest but on the bright side, it was close to most of her classes except for PE and architecture. She entered her combination and then threw some books into her locket. She already had pictures of her friends taped on her locker door: a picture of her, Grover and Luke when they were younger, a couple shots of the gang and then a few of her, Thalia, Juniper, Clarisse, and Silena Beauregard on a girls' night out. She smiled as she remembered the fond memories and then closed her locker. She began to fumble through her bag and pull out the books and supplies she needed for her first class, which was English.

Suddenly, she hit something, hard. "Ooomph!" She went as she fell onto the ground, dropping her books and pens. As she looked up, she gasped. She had run into a boy with stunning green eyes and wild, raven hair. "Um, sorry," she muttered as she began to pick her books and pens.

"No problem," He said, casually.

As Annabeth reached for another of her books, the boy had reached it first, along with the rest of her things. They stood up and the boy handed her books and pens back to her. "Thanks," she said, as she took her books.

He shrugged. "I'm Percy. Percy Jackson."

He held out his hand. Annabeth hesitated but eventually extended hers. "I'm Annabeth Chase. It's nice to meet you." Annabeth and Percy shook hands. His felt so warm against her icicle hands. She smiled as she examined his oceany eyes. "You're eyes are nice," She all of a sudden said. Immediately, after it she said it, Annabeth mentally slapped herself. "I mean – um…," she trailed off. "I'm sorry," she finally said. "That was weird for me to say when I already know."

"It's fine. I think your eyes are pretty too."

Annabeth blushed. "Thanks," She said, gazing into Percy's eyes. For a moment, they both stood their staring at each other, which gave Annabeth to the opportunity to examine him. He was wearing stylist shorts, a tight fight blue shirt and black converses. He was muscular and the perfect, most flawless skin. "Um…," she mumbled. Percy grinned. Annabeth blushed and she a felt smiling forming.

Suddenly, someone spoke and Annabeth's melted. She knew that voice too well. "For once, someone has silenced Annabeth's huge mouth."

Annabeth scowled, "Rachel." She spun around, her voice dripping with hatred.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare was staring smugly at Percy and Annabeth. Her extremely curly red hair that was streaked with high lights was pulled up into a tight bun and she was wearing the ugliest, most sparkly pink dress imaginably. The black wedges she had on gave her at least three or four inches of height. Mark was hovering about Rachel, his hand rested on her upper thigh. Rachel had her expensive bag slung over her shoulder.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Rachel said, stepping out of Mark's grasp. "Annabeth Chase and a new boy." She leaned up close to Percy's face. "A cute new boy, might I add," Rachel whispered under her breath so that only Percy and Annabeth could hear her.

"What the hell do you want Rachel?" Annabeth snapped, gripping her backpack tightly. If worse comes to worse, she would use her backpack as a weapon to hit Rachel with.

"Oh, Annie," Rachel said. She put her hand over her heart and pouted, as if she was hurt. "We used to be friends!"

"Key words: used to be," Annabeth shouted. "Then you turned into a mega bitch."

"Oh, I turned into the mega bitch?! What happened to little Miss 'Turn All My Friends Against Me?' I say that was pretty low," Rachel retorted. Annabeth hesitated. Rachel did have point. Annabeth did, after all, convince her friends that Rachel was a devil spawn. The day after everyone turned against Rachel, it was rumored she was crying in the bathroom stalls. Annabeth did feel bad at first but she learned to get over it over time.

"Well, what happened to person that bullied me every day?!"

Rachel snickered. "Bullied? Wow! You are such a baby! Get over yourself."

"Don't talk to her like that!" Someone yelled. Annabeth turned, excepting to Grover but it was Percy.

Rachel narrowed her eyes. "What's it to you?!"

"Leave her alone," Percy growled. His voice and face even frightened Annabeth.

"Is there a problem here?" A familiar voice asked. Annabeth turned around and saw Chris, Clarisse, Katie Gardner and the Stoll Twins. "Because, if you don't remember last year," Katie continued, "I can destroy you."

Rachel scoffed. "I can always just call my mom. You know, she's still trying to decide whether or not to stop funding your mother's ugly. This might help make decision." Katie let a small gasp. It's true. Mrs. Dare, one of the richest investors in New York, helps pay for the flowers in Demeter's garden. Without the Dare's help, the garden would go broke.

"You wouldn't do that," Katie whispered meekly.

"Wanna test me?" Rachel challenged.

"Leave her alone," Travis interjected.

"Whatever," Rachel said. "I'll see you around…Annabeth." And then before Annabeth could sneak another insult in, Rachel turned on her heels and left.

"What was that about?" Percy asked when Rachel and Mark were long gone.

Annabeth shrugged. "Just some girl that I used to be friends with. We had a little misunderstanding last year so she tried to make my life miserable. She and her little annoying boyfriend would tease me every day. It got so bad that I wanted to switching schools. Lucky for me, I have good friends."

"Good thing you have good friends," Percy muttered with a smile. "Gotta go," he said with a grin and then sprinted off to one of his classes.

"Wait!" Annabeth yelled after him. "Come back!" But he never did. And for the rest of the day, Annabeth just couldn't forget Percy Jackson.

I know the ending was a kind of bad but anyway, I hope you liked the little Percabeth and Thuke moment.

I know that it might sound a little bit more like a drama thing between Annabeth and Rachel, or at least it might to me, but I promise that a lot of Percabeth stuff is coming up! Just wait! I might put in a little bit more Thuke and Tratie but I'm not sure yet.

By the way, sorry if the characters don't sound like the characters…..
